The location is amazing, perfect for a relaxing break and close to everything we needed. The place was very clean and well looked after, and the bed was extremely comfortable. A lovely touch from the host was the fresh milk left in the fridge, which we really appreciated. Overall, a top stay and we’re already looking forward to coming back.

• Margaret (8/5): Dinky Cottage, Brightlingsea - Delightful cottage with almost everything you could need. Very well fitted out. The cottage would benefit from somewhere to hang coats in the downstairs cloakroom, a blackout blind in the bedroom and something on which to stand to reach items on the top shelves in the kitchen. I mentioned these to the owner after he asked for feedback.

• Ryan (10/5): Clean, tidy and great property. - Very comfy. A lot of effort and thought put into the decor and layout. Very much enjoyed our stay and looking at rebooking for future visits. WIFI was very weak within the property and only managed to get connection in a set part of the property. The boiler in the downstairs toilet at times got very loud but wasn’t too much of an issue.
• Rachel (10/5): Quiet, cozy and relaxing. Would def recommend and stay there again. - Very clean, very cute! Had everything you needed. Good location. The ONLY nitpicky thing I can say is the fan in the downstairs bathroom bangs when it’s windy. Can be a little disruptive for a quiet reader. That’s it though.

• Fidds (10/5): A great place to stay and near all main places and the seaside. - Drip from gutter/pipe above key box, inline with my head whilst accessing box for key.
